Last week someone apparently got into my machine, picked up my Credit 
Card number and ordered a bunch of porno from various sites.

I noticed something wrong (do not know what made me notice the problem) 
but I reported it to Pay Pal and my Credit Card company.

Sure enough some one had hit some various companies on the net, so they 
cancelled my then current credit card.  They reissued a new one but I am 
super cautious about using it on the net untill I know absolutely that 
he has been cleaned off my machine.

Any suggestions as to how I can get rid of him for sure?  This may have 
happened when I reported all the smeeeering of my screens last week.
I am running Debian as my main machine, a Windows XP print server and 
working on installing a new AMD64 on another, and my wife's machine has 
Mandrake 9.0 on it.
